Polar Expeditions

At the ends of the Earth and far from the madding crowd, the Polar Regions are perhaps the last pristine wildernesses left on the planet. They’re harsh, merciless environments of savage, eye-watering beauty. How times have changed for the Polar adventurer? These days we can take a Polar Expedition to explore the frozen polar continents in relative comfort and safety and return to our homes within 2 weeks, unlike Ernest Shackleton and his crew who took 2 years to escape its icy clutches after their ship was crushed in 1915. Of course, in keeping with our philosophy, it is essential that we protect these polar environments and in partnership with the ship operators our polar expeditions apply the most stringent rules of minimum impact travel.

Whether you choose the Arctic or the Antarctic, for your polar expedition holiday, relax in the knowledge that your trip is run with safety and sustainability in mind. Take a closer look at some of the expeditions below for a more detailed polar holiday itinerary.

Antarctica Journey Experience: Fly & Cruise Expedition

Visit the South Shetland Islands and the channels of the Antarctic Peninsula, arguably the most spectacular and most pristine wilderness on earth, but skip the Drake Passage crossing by flying instead.

Responsible travel

We realise that every holiday destination is also someone else's home and that we should leave places as we found them. Find out more about how we incorporate responsible travel into our adventure and activity holidays, and how you can help by donating to one of our responsible travel projects.
